“Who is it? There is no one I’m expecting, who is it?”

Manager Cha got up and ran to the front door.

“Brother-in-law. It’s me.”

A familiar voice came from outside the door. Manager Cha opened the door.

“Why aren’t you answering the phone? I called you earlier. Uh! Who is it? Could it be a woman?”

Kim Kangwoo came inside and found Inseop chattering.

“Why is hyung here?”

“He’s here to play, obviously.”

Manager Cha lightly tapped Kim Kangwoo on the back of the head and motioned him to sit on the sofa.

“What? Have you already finished your meal? I brought you chicken.”

“Sit down and have a drink. I’ll get you a beer.”

Manager Cha brought out a beer this time. At once, the table became a drinking table.

“Hyung, what are you doing here?”

Kim Kangwoo opened the beer can and sipped the bubbles that rose up.

“Then what are you doing here? Without any contact.”

“I did earlier. It’s because my brother-in-law didn’t answer the phone.”

“What person calls on the same day they wanna come?”

Even when Manager Cha scolded him, Kim Kangwoo didn’t care and held up a chicken leg and handed it to his opponent. Manager Cha sighed and accepted the chicken leg.

“Hyung, you eat too.”

Kim Kangwoo got the rest of the chicken legs and gave them to Inseop.

“I’m full. You eat a lot.”

“No! I can’t believe you rejected the chicken leg! How great..”

Kim Kangwoo playfully put his hands together and lowered his head.

Manager Cha handed the apple. He knew that Inseop purposely came to consult with him about his worries. Inseop smiled quietly.

“Anyway, why are you here?”

Manager Cha looked at Kim Kangwoo as he tore off a chicken leg.

“I came because I had something to say, but if I had known you would be here, I wouldn’t have come today.”

Kim Kangwoo also replied as if he was unfair.

“What is it? Say it quickly.”

Kim Kangwoo glanced at Inseop as being wary.

“I’m going to go now. The two of you can talk comfortably.”

As Inseop tried to stand up, Kangwoo Kim grabbed the hem of his clothes.

“No. Hyung-nim. It’s not that I came to talk about the actor, but you’re close with him.”

“What about Lee Wooyeon? What are you saying?”

“No. What’s wrong with him? He doesn’t talk to me at all.”

Kim Kangwoo grumbled.

“He is strangely cold to me. I’m just trying to get along.”

“Don’t try.”

Manager Cha firmly gave a solution.

“Even if that’s the case, these days…”

Kim Kangwoo scratched his head and drank the remaining beer.

“What about these days?”

“I’m so scared.”

Kim Kangwoo at first thought it was an illusion. When they were alone, he thought that being cold, or not making eye contact at all was just for the day. But lately, whenever he felt a stare in silence, he felt an inexplicable fear.

“It doesn’t matter what I do. It’s not like swearing, it’s not like hitting, it’s just that something scares me more and more. I came to ask my brother-in-law, but I’m sorry hyung. The two of you are close, but I talked about this.”

“No… I understand”

Inseop also had a lot of those experiences.

“There is no way. This is all because Kim Hakseung is bad.”

Manager Cha opened the beer can and handed it to Kim Kangwoo. The two of them exchanged drinks. Kim Kangwoo handed a can of beer to Inseop, who was sitting.

“You won’t drink, hyung?”

“I had a drink earlier.”

“Then it’s time for two drinks.”

Inseop only accepted the can of beer. In the midst of the noisy conversation between the two, Inseop was quietly thinking.

He never thought Lee Wooyeon was a good person. The thought that he will change because of himself was just arrogance and greed.

The problem was himself. Because of his shy and withdrawn personality, he always doubted Lee Wooyeon. That was hard

“By the way, hyung-nim, didn’t you meet your girlfriend? You don’t have work these days, so it would be perfect to meet her.”

At Kim Kangwoo’s harmless question, a dark cloud hung over Inseop’s head.

“Why do you pry into someone’s private life?”

Manager Cha quickly stopped Kim Kangwoo.

“No, I’m just curious. I remember that you said you couldn’t go to the Han River the other day. The weather is nice today too.”

“Well, the weather is nice.”

Inseop looked out at the blue sky over the balcony and weakly agreed.

Kim Kangwoo, noticing the uneasy atmosphere, quickly changed his words.

“Ah, right, right. I heard that the other day, my eldest brother-in-law gave actor Lee a car as a gift. Silver Lamborghini. One where the roof opens up. Have you ever seen it?”

Inseop’s face suddenly turned pale.

“…I saw.”

“If you happen to be driving it later, can you call me too? I’ll just watch.”

“Look at Kim Hak-seung’s car. The old man has more car.”

Manager Cha defended it one more time.

“Brother-in-law never shows me his car. My sister says he’ll save it more than any woman he’s ever married.”

“That makes sense.”

“Guys love and cherish all cars. Is there a man who doesn’t like cars?”

At Kim Kangwoo’s words, Inseop opened the beer can he was holding. As Inseop started drinking beer, Manager Cha put on a worried expression.

“Can you have more?”

“One can is fine.”

“Brother-in-law, can I get some more from the beer fridge?”

Kim Kangwoo, who had emptied all of his beer before he knew it, stood up and asked.

Manager Cha gestured as if to do as he pleased.

Kim Kangwoo emptied a can of beer with chicken as a snack, and Inseop shared a can of beer with each sip.

Inseop’s face flushed red as if he was getting drunk.

“Hyung, what kind of girlfriend do you like?”

To Kim Kangwoo’s sudden question, Inseop replied ‘all’ without delay.

He would have understood it if he had answered that it was a face.

Manager Cha filled the glass with soju and drank it down.

One day, Manager Cha once asked a similar question to Lee Wooyeon. It was on a day when they were stuck on the road for an hour because of a triple collision in front of them. Lee Wooyeon, as usual, was reading a book by himself, wearing that irritating look, and Manager Cha, who was struggling with boredom, suddenly asked a question.

‘What’s the reason you’re dating Inseop?’

Upon receiving the question, Lee Wooyeon raised his eyebrows as if wondering.

‘No, I was wondering what you liked about him.’

He knew that Inseop’s personality was perfect, but he thought that Wooyeon was not a great person who could like people just because of his personality.

‘I like him because he’s pretty.’

A simple answer came back. Manager Cha was a little perplexed.

‘You like him because he’s pretty?’

‘What?’

‘What about the women you’ve met?’

All the actresses Lee Wooyeon had met so far were known for their beauty.

Inseop has a cute face, but if he compares him based only on his appearance, he doesn’t feel special.

‘Inseop is the prettiest.’

‘You’re blinded by love.’

After dating, he thought that he had nothing to do with it, so Manager Cha teased him.

‘I’m not blinded by love, he’s the prettiest. Can’t you see it?’

Lee Wooyeon replied casually. It wasn’t just words. He sincerely believed that he was.

‘Where is he so pretty?’

Yeah, he wanted to hear him talk, so he asked.

‘Eyes.’

‘Honestly, Mr. Inseop’s eyes are so clean and clear, aren’t they?’

Manager Cha smiled and lightly responded to Lee Wooyeon’s outrageous remarks. But it didn’t end there.

‘His lips look pretty when he smiles. When he smiles broadly, I can see a glimpse of his right fang, and that’s really pretty.’

‘Oh yeah?’

Did he see a right canine? Manager Cha searched for vague memories.

Has he ever seen him smile when he’s shy? He couldn’t even make eye contact, so he lowered his eyelashes and smiled.

“What does your girlfriend look like? You’ve never shown me a picture.”

Inseop smiled silently with his eyes down.

Oh, is that expression he said then?

Manager Cha looked at Inseop and remembered what Lee Wooyeon had said.

“Ah, does it wear out when I look at it? Show me just once.”

“No.”

Inseop shook his head resolutely.

‘He also makes a determined face. He keeps his lips shut He doesn’t seem determined at all.’

“Just once. Don’t you believe me?”

Kim Kangwoo deliberately clung to him mischievously.

“Sorry. It’s not because I don’t believe you.”

‘The eyebrows that go up when he’s sorry. If I get more naughty there, he’ll cry, but that’s really pretty. and,’

Lee Wooyeon closed the book he was reading and continued.

‘What he says, his voice, facial expressions, and gestures.’ 𝒷ℯ𝓭𝓷ℴ𝓋𝓮𝓵.𝒸ℴ𝓶

“It’s never like that. I’m sorry. I’ll buy you something delicious later.”

Even when he was troubled, Inseop looked at the other person’s feelings first.

“What are you going to buy for me?”

“Whatever you want to eat.”

He nodded slightly and agreed with what the other person said. Even in that small gesture, kindness was buried.

He seemed to understand to some extent why Lee Wooyeon called Inseop pretty.

He was looking at him properly.

It was a strange feeling. He understood the reason why Wooyeon, whom he thought was a man of the world, liked Inseop.

“How exciting!”

Kim Kangwoo was excited and raised his hands. Manager Cha lightly touched Kim Kangwoo’s back.

“What are you doing when you have a rich ex brother-in-law? Ask the CEO to buy it for you.”

“The CEO is busy.”

“Inseop is busy too. He’ll have to go to America right after work.”

“I don’t think I can go.”

“Why? You need to go back for a few days before vacation ends.”

“I was going to do that, but I don’t have my passport right now.”

“Your passport? Did you lose it?”

“I left it with Mr. Lee Wooyeon for work, but when he moved, he said that it seemed to have been mixed in with his belongings. It will take some time to find it.”

“… ”

That passport somehow seems like it won’t come out of that house forever…

“It won’t be difficult to reissue as long as you have an ID.”

“…I gave it to him as well.”

It was clear why Inseop was in trouble. He can’t ask him to find it, even though he’s smashed the car up so he was at a loss.

“I will find out how to reissue a passport.”

Manager Cha guessed that the reason Inseop hesitated to go to the United States was not only because of his passport. Since he was going to pay for the repair of that expensive car, it was clear that he would regret even a hundred won.

“Thank you for your words.”

Inseop thanked Manager Cha politely. Inseop’s personnel skills were well known within the company. He bowed his head no matter how many times he met each other in a day, did not hesitate to say thank you for even the smallest things, and immediately apologized for his mistakes without making any excuses. It was basic etiquette, but few people consistently followed the basics.

“I get help every time, and I haven’t done anything. Sorry and thank you.”

“I didn’t do anything for you. You’re working now instead of me.”

“No. It’s something I love to do.”

Inseop waved his hand.

“There was a rumor that hyung-nim was the president of the actor’s fan club, is it true?”

Kim Kangwoo abruptly intervened in the conversation.

“I’m not the fan club president.”

“What if not the president?”

“…I just signed up.”

Inseop gave a small answer while fiddling with the beer can.

“Ah. Is that why the actor is being nice to hyung? Should I join the fan club too?”

“Hey, Lee Wooyeon hates male fans.”

Manager Cha frowned arrogantly.

“What about hyung?”

“Mr. Inseop is an exception.”

Manager Cha responded as if stating the obvious.

“Then why?”

Kangwoo raised his eyes. Manager Cha, who was about to put the chicken in his mouth, froze.

“That, that’s…”

Embarrassed, Inseop started to stutter his words.

“Because of that. A stalker case! There was a stalker case.”

Manager Cha continued to speak in a cold sweat.

“There was a stalker who was completely out of her mind. Inseop was hurt because of that. Lee Wooyeon deserves to be in debt.”

“Did something like that happen? Was it while I was in the army?”

“It will be around then. haha. It’s already been so long.”

Manager Cha glanced at Inseop as he casually drank soju. Inseop, who was thinking deeply about something, let out a long sigh and muttered.

“I hope he doesn’t think so.”

At that time, Inseop was unaware of the situation in which Lee Wooyeon slit his wrist at the hospital and was mad enough to ask them to take his own blood. It reminded him of CEO Kim’s words that on days when that scene appears in his dreams, he would always have sleep paralysis.

He should never tell him.

Manager Cha made a promise as he gulped down a bottle of soju.

Fortunately, Kim Kangwoo moved on to another topic without any doubt and started chattering. Manager Cha was relieved and gave an appropriate response to Kim Kangwoo’s nonsense.

As the two of them drank, the bottle quickly ran out.

“Ah. I just want one more drink. Shall I go out and buy one?”

Kim Kangwoo stood up from his seat with his eyes slightly open. Manager Cha put on his clothes and pressed Kim Kangwoo’s shoulders back to his seat.

“Stay here. Inseop, would you like me to buy you some medicine to sober up?”

Inseop, who had been sipping a can of beer, nodded slightly. After saying that the two of them had a good time, Cha took his wallet and went out.

“Hyung is really bad at drinking.”

“Yeah. I can’t drink well.”

“The actor is really good at drinking. Has he ever been drunk?”

“Yea, he gets drunk sometimes. Very occasionally.”

Inseop remembered Lee Wooyeon, who had recently come to his house drunk.

Even though it was not long ago, it was very distant like a memory from the past.

How did it happen?

With a depressed heart, Inseop took a sip of the lukewarm beer.

“By the way, when are they getting married?”

Inseop raised his eyebrows as if to say something.

“Chae Yeonseo and him.”

The beer that was going down his throat swelled and Inseop coughed out.

“What do you mean?”

“Rumors have spread. These days, if you search for Lee Wooyeon on the Internet, the related search word is Chae Yeonseo’s marriage. And the other day, when I went to a broadcasting station, the noona who was doing his makeup asked him subtly if their marriage date had been set up. There are rumors that they even bought a honeymoon house.”

Inseop let out an awkward laugh and wiped the beer off his lips. After hearing such a story at the time Lee Wooyeon bought his new house, he couldn’t manage his expression well.

… Come to think of it, when he said congratulations on the move, he also said that it remains to be seen whether he will be congratulated or not.

“Because he is close to hyung, I think you will be invited to the wedding. I envy you. A lot of celebrities will come. Right?”

“If he does, many will come.”

Not knowing how to react, Inseop fiddled with the little beer can.

“My? brother-in-law won’t invite me, will he?”

“Now, I’m not sure.”

Inseop quickly lowered his eyes. He thought he shouldn’t show it, but when it came to this, he felt awkward and uncomfortable. He felt as if he had swallowed a large indigestible stone.

“I also want to become close with the actor and be invited to the wedding.”

“…I won’t be invited either. Probably.”

‘If Wooyeon were to marry someone else, of course you would not be invited.’

“Ayy, I can’t believe it. It can’t be.”

Kim Kangwoo smiled brightly and tossed the chicken. Inseop gulped down the remaining beer. The taste of alcohol spread through his throat. After placing the empty can on the table, Inseop stood up.

“Uh, the bathroom.”

“Over there.”

Kim Kangwoo showed him where the bathroom was as naturally as if it were his own house. While Inseop was away, Manager Cha returned.

“What about Inseop?”

“The bathroom. Wow, beer. Can I sleep here tonight?”

“No. I don’t want to be asked by your sister where you slept.”

“You can tell her honestly.”

Manager Cha sat down and opened the ring of a beer can, disgusted.

“I’m sorry but I’m so scared of your sister. I don’t like it.”

“Hehe. I’m scared of my older sister too. Can I watch TV?”

“You’re already playing it.”

Kim Kangwoo, who had been watching TV for a while, muttered to himself.

“Why isn’t he coming here?”

“Who?”

“Hyung-nim. It seems like he’s been gone for quite some time.”

Manager Cha held up the can of beer Inseop was drinking. Then he jumped up and ran to the bathroom.

“Inseop, are you inside?”

No voice was heard.

“Inseop. Can I enter?”

When there was no answer this time, Manager Cha opened the door and went inside. As expected, Inseop was curled up in the bathtub, fast asleep.

“I knew it would be like this. Kangwoo.”

He was aware of Inseop’s habit of falling asleep without fail when he was drunk.

“Why? What happened?”

Kangwoo Kim entered the bathroom.

“Put some blankets in the small room. I have to lay him down.”

“Yes. All right!”

Kim Kangwoo spread a blanket and quickly disappeared. Manager Cha sighed and looked down at Inseop.
